The UK is likely to face an Islamist terrorist threat for the next 30 years, the former head of MI5 has warned.

Jonathan Evans, who stepped down as director general of the spy agency in 2013, described the threat as a generational problem which will take decades to tackle.

Lord Evans also claimed the Westminster Bridge attack earlier this year may have had an energising effect on extremists.

Meanwhile, he said he would be very surprised if Russia had not tried to interfere in the UK's last general election.

Lord Evans, who now sits in the House of Lords as a crossbench peer, told BBC Radio 4s Today programme: I think on the terrorism side we are at least 20 years into this. My guess is that we will still be dealing with the long tail in another 20 years time.

After which the UK will have fully surrendered to the jihadis and adopted Sharia Law? Or does the fool actually believe that the jihadis, through the tireless efforts of progressives, will be fully and peacefully integrated into Brit / European society by then?

Meanwhile, he said he would be very surprised if Russia had not tried to interfere in the UK's last general election.

Preposterous statement, huh? What will happen in 30 years? The Brits will wake up to the loss of their nation and throw the moslems out? Or is that the date projected for the final, total capitulation?

Christian people and Jewish travelers will be unable to visit the United Kingdom inside of twenty years. They simply cannot match the U.K. Muslim rate of birth what with 6-8 children being very common.

I think on the terrorism side we are at least 20 years into this. My guess is that we will still be dealing with the long tail in another 20 years time.

libertylover thinks the war on terror will never end. It's like Florida's war on mosquitos, you can't kill them all off, only kill them down to a tolerable level. But right now, we're still way above a tolerable level.

(In 2016 small-town America got tired of being governed by people who don't know a boy from a girl.)

No. Secularism or some other radicalism will take it’s place. It is not a ‘generational problem’ it is a ‘spiritual problem’. Until Jesus returns, there will never be peace. Look at what the BJP is doing, or perhaps merely ‘allowing’ to be done to Christians. What do the NorKs do to Christians? This will continue until His return. The ‘players’ change but the ‘game’ does not.

At the rate they are going they won’t last 30 years.
The leftist there are insuring the UK gets a new name and new flag to go with it’s new people.
Oh and the terrorism doesn’t stop when a country becomes fully Islamic so unless something drastic happens to change things terrorism is there to stay.

I understand what you’re saying, but this has been a singular problem for 1,400 years. It should’ve been obliterated long ago as the festering evil that it is. There is no coexisting with totalitarian evil.

Anyone who has seriously studied the bible knows that the end times will have world that looks nothing like the 18-21st century we have known. THIS tells you exactly why. Western Civilization will come to its end very soon.
